The Devil fears the word of God, He can't bite it; it breaks his teeth.

Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.

Nothing is easier than sinning.

In ourselves, we are sinners, and yet through faith we are righteous by the imputation of God. For we trust him who promises to deliver us, and in the meantime struggle so that sin may not overwhelm us, but that we may stand up to it until he finally take it away from us.

Forgiveness is God's command.

But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!

We old folks have to find our cushions and pillows in our tankards. Strong beer is the milk of the old.
